Dear Col I rec'd your medicine, and finding on trial that it did not agree with me. I quit it and find that I am better without it. I wish you would speak to Mr Lee,if he is at home, and please say to him that I hold a note on him given for a share in the City of Sabine, and even a part of the am mount, would be of great service to Me as I never felt the need of cash so much. I hope it will be in his pow er to help me out for the present, or I will be disturbed indeed. If Kosciusco can spare his hounds (the [two?] dogs) for a few days, I would like to borrow them: and Mr Armstrong will bring them in his Boat.

Call and see us whenever you can? In a short time I hope to raise and other house. My dear Margaret still continues to improve in health & spirits. Be so kind as to present us most kindly to the Ladies & Kos: and be assured of our regards. Write to me, and if any news send it to us. I send you some letters, to [?] you with.
